2014 PNC MIAA Championships Set For May 13, 16

BALTIMORE, Md. — The 2014 PNC MIAA Lacrosse Championships, the premier boys high school championships in the state of Maryland, will again take place at Johnny Unitas Stadium on the campus of Towson University. Always one of the top high school leagues in the nation, the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association currently boasts five teams in the Under Armour/Inside Lacrosse Top 25 High School Power Rankings, including No. 1 Boys’ Latin.

The two MIAA A Conference semifinals will be held on May 13 beginning at 5 p.m. The semifinal winners will advance to Championship Friday on May 16 when all three divisions compete for their respective MIAA crowns. The C Conference championship game starts the action at 3 p.m. on Championship Friday followed by the B Conference title game at 5:30 p.m. The A Conference champion will be decided at 8 p.m.

Last year’s champions were the Gerstell Academy (C Conference), Saints Peter & Paul (B Conference) and Loyola Blakefield (A Conference). One thing is certain – a new C Conference champion will be crowned in 2014. Gerstell has bumped up to the B Conference this spring.

PNC, the event’s title sponsor, has continued its strong commitment to the event as well as Maryland secondary education and the sport of lacrosse. “Sponsoring these Championships for the past five years has enabled PNC not only to help promote the sport to a larger audience, but to support the schools’ academic and athletic programs with donations to the six participating schools,” said Laura Gamble, PNC Bank Regional President. PNC’s donations to MIAA Championship participants through 2014 will total nearly $47,000.
